i just installed my megan 4-1 header. not bad for 190 shipped. i think it looks pretty good. i had to raise my car up because it was hanging pretty low what do you guys think? anyone has these on their car? how well does it perform? i'm still waiting for my hi flow cat and muffler to come so i'm running open header atm.

 

dont run open headers
i heard when you turn off your car your valves may have a chance of warping from cold air coming up the header

yeah my friend has been runnin open header for a year. he said i'll be fine and he told me not to drive it too hard.

 

looks as good as its said to be, question did you measure the collector size? is it a true 2.5 collector or is it a bit smaller? like 2.36 inches?

i'll go check be back in a few

 

i just measured the collector size and it is a true 2.5inch

 

das one good deal!

 

Buds, no worries about driving i hard. People run open headers at the track, it gives them better top end. Punch that s@!t buddy.

 

looks good for the money

 

A friend of mine had that header on his B16-hatchback... but sorry, it's just cheep crap

If you want a cheap header, i would recommend a DC 4-2-1 ceramic coated for B16 powered cars: good price, good perfromance an good quality

 

Well I appreciate the opinion on this header, but of course it's best if you inform us why it's cheap crap? I understand that the tubing used for this header is rather thin and have heard of welds cracking rather easily , but the same thing has happened on my JDM DC 4-1 header.

Exactly. This is true. Don't risk ******* up your engine because your too lazy to keep your header on. Run it with no exhaust at least, that can't damage your engine.

He is running open header, not open head. There isn't much of a risk of him warping a valve.

My mistake. I must've misread.

I did that once, and my car filled up with a small bit of exhaust smoke.

 

It looks about normal to me, it' bigger so it looks at though it sits lower than stock.

 

I think I remember my buddy having a megan header on his nissan 200sx and I think it rusted after some time..

 

i have that header on my LS engine. performs great with my testpipe and full exhaust system. had it for about 5-6 months now. no rust at all
